<\/a><\/p>\nI used the following blog entry to add the breadcrumb navigation:<\/p>\n
http:\/\/weblogs.asp.net\/jan\/archive\/2008\/04\/16\/adding-breadcrumb-navigation-to-sharepoint-application-pages-the-easy-way.aspx<\/a><\/p>\n Unfortunately after making the changes, I still didn’t see a single change on the page. \u00a0I found a few other people on the forums wondering how to do breadcrumbs in SharePoint 2010, but nobody with a solution. \u00a0I decided to dig into the out of the box Site Settings application pages and see how they did it, as their breadcrumb navigation was displaying flawlessly, with the Site Settings as part of the navigation:<\/p>\n Looking at the Site Columns application page, mngfield.aspx, I realized the problems. \u00a0First, the SharePoint 2010 master page v4.master uses\u00a0SPSiteMapProvider and SPContentMapProvider for the breadcrumb site map providers. These don’t build the breadcrumb from the layouts.sitemap file that define the breadcrumb in 2007. \u00a0The mngfield.aspx application page overrides v4.master and uses\u00a0SPXmlContentMapProvider for the site map provider, which does read from the layouts.sitemap file. The second thing the out of the box application page does differently is override the\u00a0PlaceHolderPageTitleInTitleArea content and hard codes the breadcrumb navigation. What I had mistaken for the bread crumb navigation was actually the title area. \u00a0The breadcrumb navigation in SharePoint 2010 is accessed with the ‘Navigate Up’ folder icon.<\/p>\n So here are the steps required to get breadcrumb navigation working in SharePoint 2010:<\/p>\n After those changes my application pages display as they should, with the proper breadcrumb navigation:<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n\n
